SJG 14” add MOD for a mini WSM - Ur thoughts?
« on: April 17, 2018, 04:56:51 PM »
Hola Amigos
Saludos
So I recently scored on SJG 14” 1991 for 10dlls

I have read some articles and seen some videos for converting (don’t know if this is the correct word I’m looking for) this in to what’s called a “mini WSM”

What are your valuable thoughts and recommendations on this
As I’m thinking on going for it...

I live in Juarez Mexico so it should be easy to find an Olla Tamalera (tamale steamer pot) I might even get my moms olla ;)
Nah! Better not!!!

They make great little cookers.  You can fit a surprising amount of food into it as well.

+1  I really like mine. It’s a fantastic fuel efficient cooker.

Guess what?
Found the tamale steamer pot in Walmart
My mom saw the pot and said are you making tamales de pollo???
To which I answered with fear in my voice...
I’m upgrading my SJG to a Smoker!
And my mom said to me:
No se que te pasa, estas loco echando a perder una buena olla para tamales!!!!

Will look up on how to threads and videos
Any recommendations welcomed

Have a blessed weekend
Saludos from Juarez Mexico

Mauro, You can tell your mom that every tamale pot wants to smoke barbacoa and carnitas when it grows up!

I used a VERY strong stainless steel pot and was hard to drill in to. I put holes in the bottom for air flow.  And added the necessary holes for the grates. If I had to do over I would have used aluminum. i added a water bowl as well.
